OUR LIGHTEST, COOLEST WORK SHIRTS EVER

Texans have a lot of colorful ways to talk about summer heat. Hotter than a burning stump, they'll say. Hotter than a three-dollar pistol. Hotter than a honeymoon hotel. However you describe it, heat like that calls for our breathable, comfortable and quick-drying Armachillo® Shirt. It's made of light-as-air, wicking fabric impregnated with microscopic jade to give you a cooler feeling next to your skin. You'll never see or feel the jade itself, but you'll feel its cooling power. Even in extreme heat and humidity, you'll have it made in the jade!

Our Houston-based Trades Panel tested this shirt in hundred-degree heat and humidity. "Felt awesome," reported construction COO George. "The ultimate hot weather shirt!" said Jack, who works in the oil fields. "Cool, comfortable, easy to care for -- I like it a LOT!" said furniture builder Steve. "So lightweight, it's like these shirts are barely there yet I'm covered and protected from the sun." Get yerself one of these shirts today, and remember, don't squat with your spurs on.

Working outside in Australian summer temperatures (anything up to 111F) is not for the feint of heart. I wanted a shirt that would be roomy, keep me cool if possible and have long sleeves to keep the sun off. The Armachillo shirt works perfectly (I ordered men's size and rolled up the cuffs and don't tuck the shirt in.) I can still put all my protective gear over the top for using my chainsaw and polesaw. Easy to launder, quick to dry. Will be ordering more when the two I bought wear out. My husband will have to get his own.

This shirt looks and feels great. But the buttons on the side of the sleeves just look odd to me. When you have your sleeves rolled down, there are just these random buttons on the side of your sleeves. I don't have a problem rolling my sleeves up the old-fashioned way, so the buttons aren't much help when rolling up. I wish they weren't there.

I bought this to stay cool in the summer and to protect my skin from the sun. And for the most part it worked great for that. With at least a breeze it kept me cool. But if there wasn't a breeze it was hot because of the long sleeves, but that is what happens if there is no air circulation, sweat can not evaporate. The shirt always did stay dry, by drying very quickly.
